Give your Creatures Names
Give your creatures scientific names! Remember that Binomial Nomenclature means they will have two parts
to their name - a genus name and a species name. The Genus should be capitalized and the species
lowercase.
Make at least TWO creatures in the same Genus (should have the same genus name, but different species
name). You can name your creatures anything you want!
Creature 1: ________________________________________
Creature 2: ________________________________________
Creature 3: ________________________________________
Creature 4: ________________________________________
Creature 5: ________________________________________
Creature 6: ________________________________________
Now flip to the back of this paper. You will make a Dichotomous key of your creatures so that another
group can identify them.
